After a few weeks of middling deals, we\u2019re starting see things pick up. Some of our favorite deals of the holiday season have returned in some fashion, making now a great time to pick up deal stalwarts like the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/dp\/B0DGJ7HYG1\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">AirPods 4 with ANC<\/a> or <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Google-TV-Streamer-Streaming-Entertainment\/dp\/B0D8WJYSF9\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Google\u2019s TV Streamer (4K)<\/a>. We also stumbled upon a deal that knocks <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Building-Valentines-Botanical-Collection-Together\/dp\/B0BH45SNRM\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">$5 off a pair of Lego Roses<\/a>, as well as another that lets both new and returning subscribers <a href=\"https:\/\/redeem.services.apple\/roktappletv-amr-v2\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">snag a month of Apple TV Plus<\/a>, completely free of charge.<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-none\">So let\u2019s get into it, shall we?<\/p>\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\" \/>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-none\">If you can afford it, I highly recommend the AirPods Pro 3, which are on sale at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Apple-Cancellation-Translation-Headphones-High-Fidelity\/dp\/B0FQFB8FMG\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Amazon<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.walmart.com\/ip\/AirPods-nbsp-Pro-nbsp-3\/17835006350\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Walmart<\/a> right now for $199 ($50 off). However, if you\u2019re an Apple user looking to save some cash, the <strong>AirPods 4 with Active Noise Cancellation<\/strong> make for a surprisingly good alternative, especially since they\u2019re on sale at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/dp\/B0DGJ7HYG1\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Amazon<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.walmart.com\/ip\/4W09PR7NC59E\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Walmart<\/a> for $119 \u2014 about $20 shy of the all-time low we saw during Black Friday.<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-none\">Despite their open-style design, the AirPods 4 with ANC offer the best sound of any AirPods to date (save the Pro models). The noise cancellation is remarkably effective at lowering the volume of the outside world, and because they\u2019re an Apple product, they\u2019re loaded with all the usual ecosystem tricks. That means you\u2019ll get support for head-tracking spatial audio, automatic device switching, and live translation\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.theverge.com\/news\/777466\/apple-ios-26-launch-iphone-liquid-glass-update\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">courtesy of iOS 26<\/a>. The ANC also packs a few Pro-level features, including wireless charging and a built-in speaker on the charging case that lets you track it via Apple\u2019s Find My app.<\/p>\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-none\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.theverge.com\/24245570\/apple-airpods-4-review\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Read our AirPods 4 review<\/a>.<\/h5>\n<div class=\"product-block\">\n<h3>Apple Airpods 4 with ANC<\/h3>\n<figure class=\"product-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" src=\"https:\/\/platform.theverge.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/chorus\/uploads\/chorus_asset\/file\/25623448\/DSCF0028.jpg?w=300\" class=\"attachment-medium size-medium\" alt=\"A hands-on photo of Apple\u2019s AirPods 4 wireless earbuds.\" \/><\/figure>\n<h3>Where to Buy:<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/dp\/B0DGJ7HYG1\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"> <strike>$179<\/strike> $119 at <strong>Amazon<\/strong><\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.walmart.com\/ip\/4W09PR7NC59E\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"> <strike>$179<\/strike> $119 at <strong>Walmart<\/strong><\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.bestbuy.com\/product\/apple-airpods-4-with-active-noise-cancellation-white\/JJGCQ832YX\/sku\/6447385\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"> $179.99 at <strong>Best Buy<\/strong><\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\" \/>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-none\">Ready or not, Valentine\u2019s Day is right around the corner.

It can also cobble together recommendations from across streaming services, and thanks to its built-in support for both Matter and Thread, you can leverage it as a smart home hub, making it easy to control your lights or view livestreams from connected cameras.
